following Lindsay on Twitter it sounds like a decent run out.

Another Club from League Div 2 well beaten. Players coming on
and going off throughout the game, but still we gain a
comprehensive Win 35 - 12, by 5 trys to 2.
Hayes converted all 5 trys, hope he doesn't lose those Boots
for the rest of the season.
The teamsheet says that a Lad called Winterbottom started for us
in the Centre, following on Twitter I didn't see him mentioned
at all ?.
In winning 2 games the record stands at 75pts to 19pts and 11
trys to 3 trys in our favour. Hayes has converted 10 out of 11
kicks at Goal.
Winning these games must be giving our Lads lots of confidence.
Now onto next Friday night and hopefully another (good) Win.
Playing like we are with mix and match teams, and Winning, It
will be interesting to see the starting XV / Squad, for our
First League Game.

Rotherham Titans continued their fine pre-season form with an
impressive 35-12 win over Channel Islands based side Guernsey
Raiders, on a baking summer’s afternoon at Footes Lane.
Rotherham outscored their hosts by 5 tries to 2, with Laurence
Cowan-Leak, Harry Dunne, Gareth Denman, Charlie Capps and Lewis
Allan all crossing the whitewash; whilst Lloyd Hayes enjoyed a
perfect afternoon with 5 conversions.
The match demonstrated the Titans pack strength throughout a
keenly contested affair and one they hope, will stand them in
good order for the new season ahead in 2 weeks time.
However it was the hosts who scored first when a clearance kick
from Roth was charged down inside their own 22; and following a
number of subsequent phases second rower Lewis Hillier bundled
his way over.
Indeed Rotherham had to wait until the 21st minute before they
got on the board and when it came it did so by way of some
powerful work by their impressive pack which saw back rower
Laurence Cowan-Leak crash over.
Ten minutes later and Roth extended their lead when this time
Harry Dunne joined the pack-party to finish off from close
range.
The second half saw Roth increase their superiority and
advantage when tight head prop Gareth Denman finished off some
more forward dominance.
One the hour mark loose head prop Charlie Capps got in on the
act as he too added to his sides tally.
Ten minutes from time Guernsey scored the try of the game
through Hugo Culverhouse, when from turnover ball inside their
22 they quickly moved play downfield through a number of hands
to dot down.
However, Rotherham had the final say four minutes from time when
second rower Lewis Allan was on hand to go over following more
good work from the pack.
Titans will now look ahead to finishing their pre-season
preparations by welcoming Durham University to Clifton Lane on
Friday evening for a 7:30pm kick-off.
Then 7 days later the National 2 North season gets underway with
the visit of newly promoted Billingham to Clifton Lane.
